Dear Cub Family, 

Our current school management system, Skyward, is being upgraded and changed. Parent access to student grades will be unavailable beginning Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 4 p.m. Parent access will be available starting again on Wednesday, Oct. 14. Information on the new system and links will follow shortly. 

We would like to make you aware of a resource for technology assistance. Our Kiona-Benton School District Technology Department has an email address you can access to get some help. The email address is Support@kibesd.org. The email address is also on your computer check-out sheet. If you have any questions, please call the middle school office at 588-2040.

Welcome to the start of another school year. While this year might be starting off different, the middle school staff wants families to know we are as committed as ever to providing an outstanding education for students. Please feel free to email us with any feedback you have on the beginning of school. We understand this new way of learning can be trying. The hope of the middle school staff is that we can work together on any issues that might arise. We would also like to hear about anything that is going well. We are in this together. #CUBPRIDE

Our Kiona-Benton Middle School ASB officers recently approved a fundraiser to sell face masks. We will be selling these face masks for $10. The money from the fundraiser will go towards year-end celebrations at our school. Our ASB officers wanted to keep the price of the masks cheap for the community, but felt it would be a good way to build spirit outside of our school. Our officers only ordered 50 masks right now because we aren't sure how the fundraiser will go. However, more can easily be ordered. If you are interested in purchasing a mask, please email Mr. Kantman at mkantman@kibesd.org

Kiona-Benton Middle School pride shirts are available for purchase. The cost of a shirt is $13 and maybe purchased in the middle school office. 

The first day of the 2020-21 school year is Monday, Aug. 31. Classes will be held using a distance learning model, which means students will be online for the start of school. Information will be coming out shortly for families about the distance learning format.
